Bramblepoint who's this stupid clown

The two shared a silent word with each other, and Dune grew curious. He had been raised to use more body language than words, but the way Tegan moved was decidedly different than the typical universal signs, and the female seemed to understand him completely. Consider him impressed and intrigued. Tegan asked his name, and Dune had wondered why he asked it at all, considering he had stated it. Dune had misheard "dude" as "Dune." Was Tegan messing with him? Had they met previously?

Dune eyeballed Tegan somewhat suspiciously. He replied after the female had reiterated the question, tacking on another one about his skills. Was this now an interrogation? "Dune." A pause to separate the two answers. "Hunt. Fight."
